Friday's question: Should Leggett department stores be open on Sundays? YES: 16

Welcome to the 20th century, Leggett. It's about time. ... Leggett should open on Sunday. If you're going to church, you will and if you aren't, you won't. It's a day to shop, and Leggett is a wonderful store. ... It's about 20 years behind the times, but it's about time they were open on Sunday. ... Why not? All the other stores are open. They can work out some arrangements. ... Yes, if they want my business because I only do my shopping on Sunday. ... They have no choice but to be open on Sunday if they want to survive. If you don't believe that, look at their Newmarket store and how it's gone down since they've been closed on Sunday.

NO: 56

I respect Leggett for staying closed all this time. ... If they're open on Sundays, they won't get my business the rest of the week. ... I do not think Leggett or any store should be open on Sunday. Chick-Fil-A is the only national holdout I know. ... The reason we have shopped at Leggett in the past is because they're not open on Sunday. ... Leggett should not open on Sunday. I've always been proud of how they respected their employees. ... It's not necessary for any of the stores to be open seven days a week. We can find time to shop other days. ... I'm a Leggett employee. A lot of employees like to spend time with their families after church and do things with the kids.
